Moovit, the leading commuter app used by over 1.5 billion users in 3,500 cities across 112 countries, is announcing the global launch of an AI-powered experience designed to remove the effort and uncertainty from public transit.

Navigating transit has always required work: searching routes, comparing tradeoffs, tracking delays, and adjusting on the fly. This new experience shifts the burden away from riders. It acts as a personal companion: learning preferences, recommending the best route for you, explaining why it’s the right choice, and continuously managing the journey in real-time. 

“At Moovit, we’re evolving from a navigation tool to a personal transit assistant,” said Ziv Kabaretti, Chief Product Officer at Moovit. “Moovit handles the complexity so users don’t have to, whether that means optimizing faster routes, minimizing walking or avoiding disruptions. Users get the right level of insight to trust Moovit’s decision without overthinking it.”

Moovit introduces AI-powered Trip Insights, smart filters, and MoovitAI to simplify and personalize every commute.

Smarter Routes, Less Thinking

With multiple route options, choosing the best one isn’t always obvious. Moovit now simplifies this by analyzing each Suggested Route across factors like travel time, transfers, walking distance and then displays clear, actionable insights so users instantly understand the tradeoffs of each option. 

Key Trip Insights include: 

• Best For You: A personalized AI-driven recommendation based on a user’s travel history and preferences to suggest the optimal route for them

• Weather Smart: Routes optimized for real-time weather conditions to reduce exposure to rain, snow, extreme heat, or cold. These routes reduce waiting, walking, and limit transfers during inclement weather

• Tight Transfer: Flags connections with short transfer windows

• High Frequency: Highlights routes with frequent service and short wait times

Additional Trip Insights include: Last Departure, Long Wait Time, Earliest Arrival, Fewest Transfers, Direct, and Least Walking.

These Trip Insights are available on both iOS and Android for Moovit+ subscribers. 

Your Preferences, Built In

Introducing filters for Suggested Routes for more control without the added complexity. Riders can now quickly tailor Suggested Routes to match their priorities, including: 

• Fit: Prioritize routes with more walking

• Fewest Transfers: Minimize connections

• Least Walking: Reduce walking distance

Core filters are available to all users, while advanced options are exclusive to Moovit+ on iOS and Android.

When Plans Change, Moovit Adjusts

When plans change, Moovit stays ahead. With Real-time Disruption Detection and Trip Recovery, it continuously monitors the journey and proactively reroutes users the moment something goes wrong, minimizing delays and eliminating the need to manually plan. 

In addition, Moovit now recommends the optimal departure time during trip planning, advising users when to leave to take advantage of faster routes and shorter overall travel time.

These features are available on both iOS and Android for Moovit+ subscribers. 

Introducing MoovitAI: Just Ask

Moovit is also rolling out MoovitAI, a Generative AI-powered search delivering clear, conversational answers to public transit questions, without the need to navigate multiple screens or menus. 

Whether asking “Which subway lines serve Penn Station?”, “When is the earliest train from King’s Cross?”, “How do I get to Copacabana Beach?”, MoovitAI provides fast, straight-forward answers.

Previously available in beta, MoovitAI is now rolling out to all users on iOS, with Android to follow.
